i don't think either side is better. i think both parties have a few good ideas, and many bad ones. both sides think they're always right. both point fingers when the other has an awful moment. each tries to take the moral high ground, when really, neither can occupy it all the time.
i love when debate occurs. what i hate is when people take it to a personal level.

I think there are two seperate conversations here..The first is strictly issue based...Some fall in the middle like yourself, others, like Pointman, Dell and myself generally find themselves 100% in one camp or the other. I disagree with you that both parties have good ideas..but that's politics. But there is a reason that there are no popular lefty whackos like Rush, etc..I don't need a blowhard to tell me how to think or to give me talking points or to affirm my beliefs..it sure seems that many republicans do and that the viatrolity coming from the airwaves is mimicked often. Again....being a liberal ain't the death knell...That Dani is my point. I don't hate Republicans, but I can guarantee you there are many, many more Republicans that do hate Liberals.

i can't stand rush limbaugh, and i don't understand his popularity. and you're right, it's not a death knell.
as for whether they have good ideas, they might be few and far between-but i'm sure every once in a while there's a good one somewhere. the trick is finding it under all the rubbish. but yeah, it seems difficult to find a good republican idea these days. what gets me is that they say they want smaller government, but continue to do the exact opposite of that.

If Obama could pass some betting subsidizations of misfortunate horse players I would vote for him. That would definitely benefit me.
